Notes

    • My Buffalo Chicken sliders are best served fresh, but if you do have leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or toaster oven at 325°F for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Or zap them in the microwave, I like to heat them in 30 second intervals until warm.
